This all looks great! The sleeping bag sounds good (Please can you write down the name/model). Love the light solution you made for Tailfin (gave me some ideas). Wish you a great and wonderful ride. Looking forward for the video's

Hi Niel, Great video.Having watched this after the race, how about another kit review about what worked, what didnt and what you'd change?oh. and did you bivi out in the end?
@TurnCycling4 жыл бұрын
Good idea Shaun. There were some definite pro's and con's coming out of this race. Probably more than normal. I'll sort that out.

The Velotoze are really good. If you have to walk in them uncover the front of your shoe just before you stop riding as stops them from wearing out so quickly.

Good tip Tony. I’ve got the MTB Velotoze so I’m looking forward to toasty feet in the morning.

Good luck for the race 🤞stunning set list !!!! Why don’t you take aerobars for the race in order to add comfort with another hand position ? Also, is you top tube bag enough to store food ? I did the mistake this summer with no extra space left for food, I regretted... Could you please give us a feedback about you SMP saddle please ? Still looking for one that fit my ass for ultra distance
@TurnCycling4 жыл бұрын
Cem Sonmez Hi Cem. As this race is either al climbing or all descending I wanted to have a comfortable position on the bars for climbing rather than the aerobars. Plus it saves 900g in weight which has been repurposed as warm clothing. I’ve got two feed bags as well as the top tube bag and my jersey pockets and plenty of space in the Tailfin. I should be good on food space 😃 The SMP is awesome but a bike fit is much more important than saddle choice if you are getting saddle pain.

Best of luck for the ride. Shoes, what shoes will you be wearing? Bike & hike approach?

The Whiteway Studio Lake MX238’s. Best mountain bike shoes out there for ultra racing. I would normally use my CX237’s as it’s all road but this one is point to point and I’ll ha e to do some walking at the end.

Thanks Gavin. Good advice 😂 To be fair, I did deliberately leave me credit card behind, forgetting I’d need it for the car hire
